An easy way to bump up the fiber in your diet is to include more beans and legumes. At 15 grams of fiber, this tasty black bean burger is a smart alternative to a beef burger. Add a whole-grain bun (2 grams fiber) and a piece of fruit, such as an orange, for another 3 grams. Another easy fiber-boosting option is adding beans to salads and soups.
